Startup Firms Get Big Boost at Oakland Conference from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"TCOMM, which kicked off Thursday, brought dozens of successful tech business owners, government contracting consultants and nonprofits to the Holiday Inn University Center in Oakland in an effort to aid fledgling startups. Mary McKinney, manager of Duquesne's Small Business Development Center, said the idea for the conference came about after the university received funding from the federal Small Business Administration. The money was targeted to help tech businesses market their concepts and to train them on applying for the federal Small Business Innovation Research program, which supports companies developing technologies that could benefit various government agencies."
